About Jack
A Storyteller Who Changed an Industry
Jack York has spent more than two decades at the intersection of technology, storytelling, and aging. As co-founder of It's Never 2 Late and founder of TaleGate, he has dedicated his career to one conviction: that the stories of our elders are the most valuable content on earth.
His keynotes don't just inspire — they reframe. Audiences leave with a new understanding of what senior living can be, what legacy means, and why the act of capturing a story is one of the most profound things a human being can do for another.
Jack has spoken at LeadingAge, Argentum, state conferences, and private leadership retreats across the country. His talks are equal parts research, narrative, and raw honesty — and they stay with people for years.
We are living in the last generation where the stories of the Greatest Generation can still be told in their own words. That window is closing. What we do right now matters forever.
— Jack York
